In early 1995 I ran Windows 95 release candidate 1. I got it on CD-R from a friend. I had to spend my savings on extra RAM in order to get it running. For a brief period of time I was the coolest kid on the block.

Many of the later MSX models had a disk drive built in and came with MSX DOS. I was running MSX DOS on a Philips VG8235. I remember playing around with CP/M software such as Turbo Pascal and Wordstar.

> For example, in Bayesian logic: x AND y is xy, x OR y is x + y - xy No it isn't. P(x AND y) = P(x)P(y) only in the special case where x and y are independent. Unlike fuzzy logic, probabilistic logic is not truth functional.

In addition to the other replies here, one fundamental difference between probabilistic and fuzzy logic is that fuzzy logic is truth functional and probabilistic logic isn't. Truth functional means, for instance, that if we know the (n

Ranks represent subjective degrees of belief but they do not, like subjective probabilities, nicely map to relative frequencies. So compared to probabilities, ranks are indeed limited in this regard. For instance, you can learn probabilitie

Author of this work here (and a bit surprised to find this on hacker news). I don't disagree with your point about probability. However, there are various alternatives to probability which can be more appropriate for certain applicatio

> I also wrote code for a Z8000[0] in the 80's which is quite different. The Z80000 seems to have been a very obscure microprocessor. Even more so than the Z8000. What was the Z80000 system you worked with?

The TMS9918 is as simple as it is beautiful. A couple of years ago I wrote an MSX emulator in Java for fun. A pretty accurate TMS9918 emulator took just a couple of hours to write with the original technical handbook at hand, in 561 lines o

Wouldn't count on it. Most people want to fly as cheaply as possible, also after corona. So airliners will keep on maximising seats per plane. Moreover, decreasing seats per plane will increase emission per passenger, so it also makes

This seems to be one of those things where the arguments pro and con have already been so endlessly hashed out that it’s simply become a matter of choice which camp you’re in.

Not sure we’re talking about the same thing here. I was replying to your claim that nothing in philosophy (apart from mathematics) can be formalized. The role of logic is not to solve the metaphysical problem of infinite regress.

There has actually been quite some work since the 50ies up to the present day on deontic logic, which is reasoning about ethical concepts such as obligation and permission.

Delved into this a bit, and found some claims that there's no PPP driver for A/UX, so I guess there's the answer. I know about NetBSD. However, in my somewhat irrational mind, it lacks the cool factor of A/UX, the spirit
